RFC w/ VKL vouchers

[tarheelmjfan]

Anyone have any recent experience with using the VKL vouchers at the RFC? We plan to use some this week. Are they still good for dinner at the AK location? Do they still allow you to order steak & lobster w/ the adult vouchers? How about drinks & desserts? What are they allowing? I apologize if this has been discussed recently, but I've been planning another trip & have been away from the boards for awhile. TIA

We used them in February and had no problems getting the steak and lobster, even with the child's voucher. We had made a PS for 5:30 pm and had no problems with them at that time either. The waitresses know all about them and the more you spend, the more tip they get so go and enjoy!

We got the steak and lobster too and were told that, since they don't do a dinner, so to speak, the lunch vouchers were good all day

Thanks for the info. That's what I was hoping you'd say.

We used the vouchers there about a week and a half ago. We were told that they were not doing any steak upgrades using the VKL vouchers without an additional charge...6.99 for the NY strip and 8.99 for the (filet I think).

We used 2 vouchers and ordered 2 of the steak,mojo bones and shrimp platters. We had the volcano for dessert which is the only dessert that requires 2 vouchers. Our appetizers were a shrimp cocktail and Carribe chicken. We also had an additional appetizer (some kind of yummy wrap with a dipping sauce...the name escapes me but for some reason "mozilla" comes to mind...? lol) Because we have the Rainforest Safari Club cards they allow us 10% off the bill or a free appetizer. The girls had sodas in plastic souvenier bottle/cups (with a plastic screw-off "animal pouch" on the bottom). These were refilled with soda during dinner...and then our server filled them again just before we left the restaurant without us even asking.

The servers get 17% of what the actual bill is. Our bill with the tax and tip included was $119.36. We gave our server an additional tip to bring his total tip to 20%.

We shared and everyone was completely satisfied. We even ended up taking a few of the ribs and some of the coconut shrimp back to the resort with us!

Ozymoe,
Just so I've got this straight....We can get the steak, mojo bones, & shrimp combo platter, but not the steak w/ lobster combo? What type of steak is included? Thanks for the info. about the additional charge for the others. That's good to know ahead of time. We ended up having 6 vouchers for 6 people, 13 to 39 yrs. old. 2 had to cancel the trip. We plan to take some back to the room for a late night snack. With 4 teenagers, there's always lots of snacking. My sister & I couldn't care less about the steak & lobster combo. I'll probably get my usual pasta, but the kids will want the combo. If it's not available with the voucher, do you know if we can pay extra to add the lobster? Thanks for all the great info!

 

[Ozymoe]

No no no no no no!

You CAN still get the steak and lobster combo (or the whole lobster by itself if you prefer). You just cannot UPGRADE the steak that comes with any of the combos without paying an extra charge. That's what we were told anyway. Anyone else have a different recent experience?

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Thanks again! That's perfect! I didn't realize that you could get the whole lobster meal. My niece wanted that. The boys want steak & lobster. Looks like we're set!

Also, for clarification...Is it still only the AK location that takes the vouchers for dinner? That's fine, but I just wanted to make sure.
